Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 (4 1/2-pound) chicken, cut into 8 pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Flour for dusting
1 1/2 cups (about 10 ounces) cipollini or pearl onions, trimmed and peeled
4 cloves garlic, halved
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup white wine, such as Riesling
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth, plus 1/3 cup
1/2 cup chopped fresh tarragon leaves, plus 2 tablespoons
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • For the chicken: In a Dutch oven or large saucepan, heat the oil over high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, to taste, and dust with flour. Cook the chicken, turning occasionally, until brown on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  • For the sauce: Heat the same pan used for the chicken over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 5 minutes. Increase the heat to high. Add the wine and scrape up the brown bits that cling to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Return the chicken pieces to the pan. Add 3 cups of chicken broth and 1/2 cup of tarragon and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pan and cook, turning the chicken pieces over every 10 minutes, until cooked through, about 30 minutes total for the breasts and wings and 40 minutes total for the legs and thighs. Transfer the chicken to a platter and loosely tent with foil while finishing the sauce.
  • To finish the sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 1/3 cup chicken broth and flour. Whisk the flour mixture into the sauce until smooth. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until thickened, about 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the butter and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve the sauce over the chicken and garnish with the remaining 2 tablespoons of tarragon.

Provided by Barbara Kafka

Categories     dinner, roasts, main course

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 5-pound chicken
1 lemon, halved
Kosher salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
2 bunches fresh tarragon ( 3/4 ounce each); stem one of the bunches and leave the other intact
1/2 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Remove fat from the crop and cavity of the chicken. Remove the neck, gizzards and liver and freeze for another use.
  • Squeeze half the lemon all over the skin of the chicken. Season the skin with salt and pepper. Stuff the cavity with the remaining half lemon, garlic and 1 bunch whole tarragon.
  • Put the chicken in a roasting pan, breast side up, and roast 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the juices run clear. During the first few minutes, either shake the chicken or move it frequently with a wooden spoon to keep it from sticking.
  • When chicken is done, tilt it over the roasting pan to let the cavity juices run into the pan. Remove the chicken to a platter. Pour off the fat from the roasting pan.
  • Put the pan on top of the stove. Add the wine and bring the contents of the pan to a boil, while scraping the bottom vigorously with a wooden spoon. Stir in tarragon leaves. Let simmer 5 minutes once the pan is thoroughly deglazed. Serve the pan juices over the chicken or pass it separately in a sauce boat.

CHICKEN IN A TARRAGON VINEGAR SAUCE



Chicken in a Tarragon Vinegar Sauce image

I first had this at my aunt and uncle's house last summer. I'm not sure where they got it from, but it is the most amazing recipie. I've never been a big fan of tarragon, but this chicken is incredibly moist and delicious. I wasn't even that hungry and I finished off my entire plate. The key is to use fresh tarragon. This is a great light dish and can easily be doubled. Also, a little big of regular onion can be subsituted if you don't have shallots. I recommend serving this with roasted red-skinned potatoes and fresh green beans.
